    Would have liked a plug socket near the mirror

    Ideal location for the wedding I was attending. Staff were super friendly especially Deeta the manager who went above and beyond.

    We recently had the pleasure of staying at The Brownswood Hotel, conveniently located near Clissold Park in the charming area of Hackney. This hotel proved to be a superb choice, particularly as we were attending a wedding party at nearby Clissold House. The guest rooms at The Brownswood are well-appointed, offering a blend of comfort and style that made our stay exceptionally pleasant. Each room is meticulously designed to ensure that guests feel both pampered and at home. One of the highlights of our stay was the hotel’s friendly pub. It boasts an excellent selection of food and drink, making it a perfect spot for dining alfresco, especially since the weather was cooperative during our visit. The quality of the meals was outstanding, with a menu that catered to a variety of tastes and preferences. Breakfast at The Brownswood was another delightful experience. Served with high-quality ingredients including fresh sourdough bread, proper butter, a variety of fruits, cereals, ham, cheese, and yogurts, it was the ideal start to our day. The attention to detail and quality was evident in every dish served. The staff at The Brownswood deserves a special mention. From the warm welcome by Alex upon our arrival to the exceptional service provided by the lovely woman who served our breakfast each morning, the staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable. Their friendliness and readiness to assist with any request made our experience even more special. Additionally, the hotel's location is extremely convenient. With a bus stop just outside, we were only four stops away from Finsbury Park Station, providing easy access to explore the city further. Overall, The Brownswood Hotel is a gem in Hackney, combining excellent amenities with first-rate service and a prime location. It's an ideal choice for anyone looking for a comfortable, enjoyable stay in

    Very minor quibble, the WiFi was on the slow side (c. 15 Mbps) which meant that there was occasional buffering when watching catch-up TV. Room not cheap, but not unreasonable for but actually not unreasonable for London, particularly given its location, with bus-stops just outside. (But NB no onsite parking).

    Loved the staff; continental breakfast was excellent (particularly the fresh fruit salad). Very nice comfortable room, with catch-up shops available on TV

    Breakfast was yummy and plentiful, but all the food but the toast was cold. But everything was delicious, and my family always had plenty to eat. I also received Gluten free toast, which was great.

    Dits took very good care of us. Our rooms were very comfortable and they felt newly updated.

    Loved our stay for my husbands 40th. Lovely big room. Very clean. Enormous bed. Can’t fault it. The staff was absolutely lovely. We were so well looked after both in the pub the evening and at the breakfast the next day. So welcoming. Highly recommend.
